I was a midnight rider on a cloud of smokeI could make a woman hang on every single strokeI was an iron man I had a master planBut I was alone

I could hear you breathing with a sigh of the windI remember how your body started tremblingOh what a night it's been, and for the state I'm inI'm still alone

[Chorus:]And all the wonders made for the earthAnd all the hearts in all creationSomehow I always end up alone

Always end up alone, always end up aloneSo I'll play, I'll wait'Cause you know that love takes time

Living love between the lineWe came (sha la) so close (so far)Just the beat of a lonely heartAnd it's mine, and I don't want to be alone

Well, since I got no message on your answer phoneSince you're busy every minute I just stay at homeI make believe you care, I feel you everywhereBut I'm still alone

I'm on a wheel of fortune with a twist of fate'Cause I know it isn't heaven is it love or hateAm I the subject of the painAm I the stranger in the rain I am alone

And is there glory there to beholdMaybe it's my imagination another story there to be toldSo I play sha la, I'll wait sha laAnd I pray it's not too lateWe came sha la so far so farJust a beat of a lonely heart and it's mi-i-ineAnd I don't want to be alone

[Chorus]

Gone but not out of sightI'm caught in the rain and there's no one homeI don't want to be alone face the heat of the the nightThe one that you love's got a heart that's made of stoneYou search for the lightAnd sooner or later you'll be cruising on your oceanAnd clean out of sight I'm caught in the rain And there's no one home
